Sorry, but I cannot agree.  The best fix is to skip all %doc files when
generating dependencies.  There are often some examples in the docs, and it is
a mistake to base package requirements on these as well.
I hope to manage to get this to rpm during F-13 development.

There are often good reasons to pack the testsuite as documentation; it is well
explained by Chris Weyl in
